Niebieska Turnia, Mountain summit in Tatra Mountains, Poland.

Niebieska Turnia rises to 2262 meters above sea level, featuring steep rocky walls and sharp ridges between Gasienicowa Turnia and Zawratowa Turnia peaks.

The first recorded summer ascent occurred on August 19, 1907, when Zofia Kordysowna, Zygmunt Klemensiewicz, and Roman Kordys reached the summit.

The name derives from the local mountaineer surname Niebies, rather than from any reference to blue coloring of the rocks.

Access requires technical climbing skills, with the eastern approach presenting a 40-meter vertical drop that necessitates rope descent equipment.

A major rock slide on May 21, 2018, destroyed part of the red tourist trail between Swinica and Zawrat, leading to route modifications.
